Introduction

  • Hi my name is Stefanie and I am going to be an elementary teacher. I just finished up my student teaching in a first grade classroom at Sunset Elementary in the Cheney School District. I got my undergrad degree from University of Idaho with a B.A. in Clothing, Textiles and Design and an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. I pursued a career in fashion for 3 years over in Seattle, but my passion for children brought me back to education. I am in the MIT program and I hope to graduate in December of 2009. I am excited to become a teacher and to start making a difference in children's lives!
